Question
1.
What is the budgeted sales price per​ unit?
2.
What is the budgeted variable expense per​ unit?
3.
What is the budgeted fixed cost for the​ period?
4.
Compute the master budget variances. Be sure to indicate each variance as favorable​ (F) or unfavorable​ (U.)
5.
Management would like to determine the portion of the master budget variance that is​ (a) due to volume being different than originally anticipated and​ (b) due to some other unexpected cause. Prepare a flexible budget performance report to address these​ questions, using the actual sales volume of 52,500units and the budgeted sales volume of 50,000
units. Use the original budget assumptions for sales​ price, variable cost per​ unit, and fixed​ costs, assuming the relevant range stretches from 45,000 to 57,500 units.
6.
Using the flexible budget performance report you prepared for Requirement​ 5, answer the following​ questions:
 
a.
How much of the master budget variance​ (calculated in Requirement​ 4) for operating income is due to volume being higher than​ expected?
 
b.
How much of the master budget variance for variable expenses is due to some cause other than​ volume?
 
c.
What could account for the flexible budget variance for sales​ revenue?
 
d.
What is the volume variance for fixed​ expenses? Why is it this​ amount?
